Plano Forest Creek North III & IV Homeowners Association

What Plano Forest Creek North III & IV Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This document is a Notice of Filing of Dedicatory Instruments for the Forest Creek North III & IV Homeowners Association in Plano, TX — a standard single-family HOA. It contains several supplemental guidelines and procedures (religious item display, security measures, pool enclosure rules, architectural review, violation hearings, and bid solicitation policies) that supplement the full CC&Rs. As a partial/ancillary document, it does not include all HOA rules (e.g., assessments, leasing, pets).

• Religious item display: Owners may display religious items subject to guidelines: no item that threatens public health/safety or is patently offensive (including pandering or shocking content). State law (Texas Property Code §202.018) and these guidelines control over conflicting dedicatory instruments.
• Security measures: Owners may install security cameras, motion detectors, or fences on their own property, but perimeter fencing must comply with the Declaration (including height and location restrictions) and requires architectural review approval.
• Swimming pool enclosures: Owners may install a swimming pool enclosure that is black in color, made of transparent mesh set in metal frames, and conforms to safety requirements. Other proposed enclosures must comply with Declaration restrictions (e.g., setback, height).
• Architectural review & appeals: The Architectural Review Authority (ARC) reviews applications for improvements. If denied, the owner must receive a written Denial Notice describing the basis and required changes. The owner may request a hearing before the Board within 30 days, and the Board must hold a hearing within 30 days of the request.
• Violation hearings: Before the Association files suit for a temporary restraining order, it must provide an opportunity to cure the violation and a hearing to discuss facts and resolve the dispute. These procedures follow Texas Property Code §209.007.
• Solicitation of bids (board policy): Before entering contracts, the Board generally must solicit multiple bids (except in emergencies or for small-dollar services). The Board may award contracts based on sound business judgment, not necessarily the lowest bid. This policy does not require bids for contracts below a stated threshold (none specified).
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain the full set of HOA rules — it omits common restrictions on leasing, pets, parking, architectural standards, assessments, and use of common areas. Those would be in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs).
